Walkman arrived late to my place, and I don’t remember that it did too much of “what it was like”. Just teens walking with headphones.

What actually did it was hands-free. A guy walking, talking and flailing hands to no one was somewhat crazy and even scary to people unaware of technology.

Also, some people still get surprised when you use Siri right in front of them (not because it’s bad, they just never thought about it).
